wine users - May 2012 - Updating Wine

I am using wine version 1.1.44 on a Mac OS X to play Diablo2. I want to update
wine to the newest version, or at least 1.4. I go to preferences and ask it to
check for updates. It finds update 1.2.3. I try to update to at least that, but
then it says "Update Error!" and "An error occurred while
downloading the update. Please try again later." I download Wine 1.4 onto
my computer, but I can't figure out how to actually update wine from the
folder. :(

All I want to do is to be able to minimize D2. When I run D2 it runs it
fullscreen and Alt+Tab doesn't seem to do anything. Neither does command+M
(mac command). It's very frustrating.

How did you install Wine in the first place? Based on the version numbers, my
guess is that you're using WineBottler, which is a third party app, and not
supported here. It also appears to be a dead project. As for the Wine 1.4 you
downloaded, I don't know what you downloaded or from where, but if the file
has a .tar.bz2 extension, that's the source code, and you use it to build
Wine.
